      So let me get this straight, you want to commit mass murder, but you also don’t want to get hit? Idk, man, seems a little hypocritical.

        I always read it as a guy who saw war movies where people cower in fear of Nazi officers so he went outside expecting the same results.

      I had the misfortune of working with that guy before he went mask-off. weird fucking dude who couldn’t stop hitting on the women in the office

      Not that it justifies or excuses anything at all, but I definitely think there’s a pipeline from the, like, Joe Rogan / Andrew Tate segment of the toxic manosphere that leads down this path.

        Stochastic terrorism is the keyword. Blame edgy creators like PewDiePie for this. He exposed hateful people and ideas to his audience. He has no remorse while calling for genocide of brown people, writing “death to all Jews” or saying n-word with hard r. He also promoted imperialist, bat-shit crazy books to his fanbase.
